You Are the Pillsbury Dough Boy
You love to make Thanksgiving comfortable for your whole family. You usually do a lot of the work, and you love every minute of it.
You are a fabulous cook and love whipping up big holiday meals for the whole crew. Your only problem on Thanksgiving is deciding what to make.

For you, Thanksgiving is definitely a time for home comforts and being close to those you love.
You enjoy traditions and the people you're with. You definitely look forward to this time of the year.

Genuine Concern

November 20, 2013

On the first night at family camp, the camp director informed the families of the schedule for the week. When finished, he asked if anyone else had anything to say. A young girl stood up and made a passionate appeal for help. She shared about her little brother—a boy with special needs—and how he could be a challenge to care for. She talked about how tiring this was for her family, and she asked everyone there to help them keep an eye on him during the week. It was an appeal born out of genuine concern for her brother and her parents. As the week went on, it was great to see people pitching in to help this family.

Her appeal was a gentle reminder of how easily we can all get wrapped up in our own world, life, and problems—to the point that we fail to see the needs of others. Here’s how Paul described our responsibility: “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Phil. 2:4). The next verse reminds us that this is part of the example of Christ: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

Our caring displays a Christlike concern for people who are hurting. May we rest in God’s grace, trusting Him to enable us to serve others in their seasons of need.

Lord, open my eyes to the hurts, needs, and struggles
of a world that is so desperately in need of Your love.
Help me to be Your instrument to inject
that love into hurting lives.
Nothing costs as much as caring—except not caring.

You Are Kermit
Like everything else in your life, you take Thanksgiving pretty seriously.
It's a time for reflection and gratitude. You also like to just sit back and observe the party.

You love Thanksgiving, but having a huge amount of people around can be a bit overwhelming.
As long as you're allowed some privacy and independence, you'll have a good Turkey Day.

To: left that other site

I got Opus 90 prepped for Friday and Opus 101 for Saturday. Along the way I discovered that The Notorious B.I.G. had done an obscene hip-hop number to the finale of Opus 90. I won’t link to it, but it’s easy enough to locate on YouTube. You’ll need to have some bleach handy to cleanse your ears afterwards.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how were today’s commutes? Did you stay above freezing? Have you perfected a good way home yet?

We have risen to 5 above and they say -13 tonight. We will see.
